gollark: See, using SQLite has a bunch of advantages:- faster than filesystems on smaller blobby data- relational and not just effectively a mapping of path to blobs (or textual data as git dislikes blobs)- eventually can swap in SQLCipher and encrypt everything
gollark: ... sure?
gollark: It is not a database.
gollark: > datetimeObviously I already stored that.> can revisions branch like in git?Nope.> tbh why not directly use git?- can't really store/manage structured metadata well- probably annoying to interface with- would require filesystem storage instead of my neat SQLite database thing- apioforms- merge conflicts- likely to end up as a somewhat leaky abstraction
gollark: I'll just leave that constantly as `()`.
